An excellent size for little hands, these board books feature chunky lift-the-flap tabs that allow just a peek at a hidden photograph—or a larger tab that pulls out the entire view. Favorite little-kid subjects include baby animals, cars and trucks, and household objects, and any parent that prompts Who or what is hiding behind the little window? begins a game that challenges a child's fine motor skills and teaches key early-learning tasks such as prediction, recognition, and naming.
Crayons, a stuffed bear, and a tricycle are some of the hidden pictures in this book that gives clues to help children guess first, then open the flaps.

Pull a tab. Lift a flap. The questions need to be answered, and the answers are shown in both places, with the pull-out showing a full page size image of the object hidden under the flap. On one page, toddlers are asked what their favorite fruit is and there is a picture of strawberries, grapes, and an apple, but this fruit according to the text has a yellow skin and is soft and sweet so what can it be? How about a banana? The text asks similar questions about vegetables, toys, and shoes, among other things, and at the end, the text asks kids to count how many items are in each of the sets shown. This presumes a knowledge of what a set is, and that is where a caregiver is going to need to intervene and say how many green apples are on the page and so on. There is much to do in this book, but the lesson may be a little beyond the board book audience's abilities. Reviewer: Marilyn Courtot
